Abstract The quantification of animal social behaviour is an essential step to reveal brain functions and psychiatric disorders during interaction phases. While deep learning-based approaches have enabled precise pose estimation, identification behavioural classification multi-animals, their application challenged by the lack well-annotated datasets. Here we show a computational framework, Social Behavior Atlas (SBeA) used overcome problem caused limited SBeA uses much smaller number...
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is one of the most common drug-resistant forms in adults and usually originates hippocampal formations. However, both network mechanisms that support seizure spread exact directions ictal propagation remain largely unknown. Here we report dissection hippocampal-entorhinal cortex (HP-EC) structures using optogenetic methods multiple brain regions a kainic acid-induced model TLE VGAT-ChR2 transgenic mice. We perform highly temporally precise cross-area analyses...
Animal behavior usually has a hierarchical structure and dynamics. Therefore, to understand how the neural system coordinates with behaviors, neuroscientists need quantitative description of dynamics different behaviors. However, recent end-to-end machine-learning-based methods for analysis mostly focus on recognizing behavioral identities static timescale or based limited observations. These approaches lose rich dynamic information cross-scale Here, inspired by natural animal we address...
Elucidating the underlying mechanism of effective chirality and energy transfer processes observed in biological assemblies has cross-disciplinary significance, it is special interest fields chemistry biology due to pivotal role life. Challenges field include how achieve real-time monitoring dynamics simultaneously, as well distinguish whether these take place ground or excited state. Herein, we first attempt at observation concerted ultrafast between Förster resonance (FRET) generation...
The physiological chirality of extracellular environments is substantially affected by pathological diseases. However, how this stereochemical variation drives host immunity remains poorly understood. Here, it reported that pathology-mimetic M-nanofibrils-but not physiology-mimetic P-nanofibrils-act as a defense mechanism helps to restore tissue homeostasis manipulating immunological response. Quantitative multi-omics in vivo and vitro shows M-nanofibrils significantly inhibit inflammation...
Surface adhesion has a great contradiction in high strength and good reversibility given their mutually exclusive requirements of fixed crosslinked networks dynamic chain motion. Herein, we demonstrate supramolecular organoplatinum(II) adhesive system regulated by intermolecular PtII ⋅⋅⋅PtII interactions that can simultaneously achieve high-strength excellent reversible to various substrates. Upon alternating temperature, the assembly suitably substituted molecules switch between...
Elevated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) within pathological tissues (e.g., tumors, obstructed kidneys, and cirrhotic livers) creates a significant hindrance to the transport of nanomedicine, ultimately impairing therapeutic efficiency. Among these tissues, solid tumors present most challenging scenario. While several strategies through reducing tumor IFP have been devised enhance nanoparticle delivery, few approaches focus on modulating intrinsic properties nanoparticles effectively...
Gas sensors based on organic molecules are attractive for their tailored molecular structures and controllable functions, but weak interfacial adhesion between sensing materials supporting substrates has severely hampered practical applications, particularly in harsh environments. Here, inspired by the combined anchoring-recognizing feature of natural olfactory systems, an adhesive-integrated-agent strategy to integrate adhesive unit (poly(dimethylsiloxane)) with (organoplatinum(II)) into...
Abstract Background Sex differences ranging from physiological functions to pathological disorders are developmentally hard-wired in a broad range of animals, invertebrates humans. These ensure that animals can display appropriate behaviors under variety circumstances, such as aggression, hunting, sleep, mating, and parental care, which often thought be important the acquisition resources, including territory, food, mates. Although there reports an absence sexual dimorphism context innate...
The Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) is a midbrain structure known to integrate aversive and rewarding stimuli, but little about the role of VTA glutamatergic (VGluT2) neurons in these functions. Direct activation VGluT2 soma evokes behaviors, while their downstream projections behaviors. To facilitate our understanding conflicting properties, we recorded calcium signals from VTAVGluT2+ using fiber photometry VGluT2-cre mice investigate how this population was recruited by stimulation, both...
Deep neural networks are efficient methods to achieve real-time visualization of physics fields. The main concerns that prevented deep learning from being implemented in the field energy conversion were risks overfitting and lack data. Therefore, it is necessary evaluate different kinds surrogate modeling provide guidelines for designers choose models. In this study, three conventional models (Artificial Neural Network, Radial Bias Function, Kriging), two learning-based (Convolutional...

However, accurately tracking analyzing the interactions free-moving has remained a challenge. Existing multi-animal pose estimation techniques suffer from drawbacks such as need extensive manual annotation difficulty discriminating between similar-looking close interactions. In this paper, we present Social Behavior Atlas (SBeA), novel computational framework that...
Despite the advent of deep learning in computer vision, general handwriting recognition problem is far from solved. Most existing approaches focus on datasets that have clearly written text and carefully segmented labels. In this paper, we instead handwritten characters maintenance logs, a constrained setting where data very limited noisy. We break into two consecutive stages word segmentation respectively, utilize augmentation techniques to train both stages. Extensive comparisons with...
Abstract SMI‐32 is widely used to identify entire populations of alpha retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), and several + RGC subsets have been studied thoroughly in rodents. However, due the thick cover neurofilaments, morphology RGCs central region obscured rarely described. Moreover, labels more than one morphological type full characteristics distribution yet be discovered. Here, using intracellular neurobiotin injections combined with antibody staining, we investigated distributional...
